British gaming news site Digital Spy brings news from the Game Developers Conference. Microsoft’s John Schappert told attendees of his keynote speech that
“We have no plans to announce (a Blu-Ray drive) right now. But I’d also urge you to look at the attach rate for the HD-DVD drive. It was a 3% attach rate…you also have to take into account how did the other accessory do when you look at the future.”
We’ll see if Microsoft’s tune changes in the future, but for now movies downloaded in Xbox Live are going to be the only way to get HD film content from the 360.
